I know I sound mad, but your smooth summer starts right now.

​If you want silky, low-maintenance skin by the time warm weather rolls around, the secret is starting your waxing routine months in advance. Regular sessions weaken the hair follicle over time, meaning by summer your hair will be significantly finer, softer, and sparser, and your skin will stay smoother for so much longer.

​Of course, the magic also happens at home. Keeping up with your prep and aftercare, especially regular exfoliation and keeping your skin moisturised.
Most importantly. Step away from the razor! Shaving resets all that hard work and brings the prickle right back.

​Ditch the razors, start your routine now, and thank yourself later. Tap the booking link to secure your first session now.

Step into the shadows with us for an evening to see what lurks in the dark 👻

We are gathering at the haunting ruins of St. John the Baptist in Boughton Green—a site steeped in centuries of folklore, built over an ancient spring, and home to notorious legends and restless spirits (which Mae has experienced first-hand!).

We aren't a high-tech paranormal crew with fancy gear—just a group of spooky b*tches bringing our own divination tools, torches, spiritual protection, and open minds.

When: Friday, 25 September 2026 @ 8:00 PM (just as dusk settles)

Where: St. John’s Ruins, Boughton Green

What to Bring: Very warm layers, sturdy walking shoes/boots, a torch (red light mode is ideal if you have it), your favourite divination tools (pendulums, cards, dowsing rods), and ghost hunting gear if you've got it.

Radical self-love starts with a single breath. Inhale peace, exhale the expectations of others. 🌬️💜

The absolute rage of a chronic illness flare stealing your week is valid. Mainstream wellness tells you to 'stay positive,' but sometimes you just need to be allowed to complain about the pain 🛑⚡
If you are stuck in bed today, true self-care isn’t a 10-step routine. It’s an adaptation. It’s dimming the lights, letting the dishes pile up, and changing your sensory environment so your nervous system knows it’s safe to drop its armour.🌿
We hand-blended a batch of Hexhale Balm using traditional folklore herbs meant to anchor you when your body feels like a warzone. With a clarifying, clearing punch of menthol, eucalyptus, and rosemary, it's designed to shift the heavy, stale energy and bring a breath of the crisp outdoors straight to your bed. Massage it into your temples or wrists while you rest, or rub it into your back and chest to help you take in a deep breath.

You are entirely safe to let go and just survive today. 🩹❤️

Living visibly disabled isn’t an online trend or an aesthetic—it’s survival.

We wrote a piece breaking down our stance on the media panic around "sickfluencers," medical gaslighting, and why we refuse to hide our bodies or apologize for finding joy.

Breaking the Silence: Embracing Disability with Dignity Explore the impact of media narratives on disability and health, and discover the importance of visibility and community for all.

Nobody actually sits you down and hands you a realistic manual for being a person in a body.

Most of us were either handed rigid, punitive rules as kids, or left to stumble through adulthood assuming everyone else just magically knows how often to wash their hair, trim their nails, or remember their meds without burning out.

Caring for your vessel isn’t a moral exam. You aren't "good" for washing your face twice today, and you aren't a failure if your entire oral routine tonight was thirty seconds and a rinse.

We put together a Personal Care Cheat Sheet—not as a strict checklist to grade yourself against, but as a gentle anchor:

✨️ Daily Baselines: The bare minimums to support your barrier, nervous system, and physical frame (water, food, gentle movement, unclenching your jaw).

✨️ Weekly Resets: Rhythms that only need 1–2 touchpoints—a proper hair wash, intentional soak, quiet journalling, or sending one low-pressure meme to a friend.

✨️ Monthly Maintenance: Routine vessel admin—refilling scripts, nail tidy, booking appointments, and a zero-pressure rest day.

If it takes singing silly songs to get yourself to brush your teeth, using micellar water from your bed, or lying completely flat on the floor to let your spine decompress: it still counts.

Adapt the task to your energy—never the other way around.

Tell me honestly in the comments: Were you ever actually taught a realistic care routine, or have you spent adulthood unlearning the guilt around how your body works?
